Minor League. [/hider] [hr] Clarie couldn't help but to chuckle impishly at Anise's story about Yvonne's little visit to the Gym. It was honestly kind of adorable. She'd have to tease Yvonne about it later. For now though, she focused on the food in front of her and the meal in all. 3,000P in total, but not a huge dent in her wallet, at least. Not with the wins she racked up from catching pokemon and thrashing Hector. She was pleasantly surprised when Yvonne shared her own contest plans. It was nice to have someone else interested in them at least. It was difficult to get her dad or mother interested too much. Her dad was far to into battles, and mom was much too into Fashion. When Yvonne asked her about her own She confidently smirked. She'd be using Ralia for the beauty/Clever contests, most likely. Lure solely for the Clever, Ritz for the Cute, and she'd yet to entirely fill out her complete roster yet. A work in progress, so to speak. With all said and done though, Claire would take up Anise's offer to head to route 11 with her towards Mt. Strength. She waved by to Yvonne and told her next time she'd win 100% for sure in a contest. but for now - [color=#d3381c]"Uuuugh I forgot an umbrella again."[/color] Claire complained loudly, earning a chuckle from Ralia who gave the redhead a pat on the cheek. It wasn't that she didn't think it was a problem. Rather, she had forgotten to get an umbrella in her haste to get going. [color=#d3381c]"Welp, doesn't matter!"[/color] Claire quickly shrugged off the rain, energetically bouncing as she held her fists in front of her. [color=#d3381c]"Lets get some training in on our way to Rainrock. I won't let a little rain ruin my motivation no sir!"[/color] A kid on a bike sped past, right through a puddle of water only to send a small wave splashing right towards Claire, completely drenching her. "Sorry!" They called back, Claire frowning in mild discomfort. [color=#d3381c]"...remind me to buy an umbrella in Rainrock will ya?"[/color] [color=00a651]"Rrrral!~"[/color] [color=#d3381c]"I'll take that as an affirmative. Alright! Wet or dry lets get started! Tally-ho onwards to adventure and all that Anise!"[/color] They could likely gain only a little from the wild pokemon here, but training was training, regardless. No sense in not doing it if you were there! Besides, she needed a bit of money to refill her wallet after that meal. Several Zigzagoons, Pidoves, and Budews later she was doing reasonably well and had made reasonable progress towards Rainrock. She hoped at least. It'd be a shame to have to turn around for a little bad weather. [hr] The only thing slowing her down a bit, was some trainers. Lass Jessica wants to battle! A pidgey...right, she should invest in an electric or ice type. She'd use Ralia first, of course. Standard Strategy using Double Team first, followed by using confusion until defeated. Use standard Teleport tactics if possible or needed to avoid a blow. If Accuracy has been lowered in any fashion, will switch to Disarming Voice. If Ralia gets critically injured or faints, switch to Ritz and finish them off with a well placed Comet-Punch or tackle As for Shroomish, assuming everything goes mostly right, Switch to Lure. After some difficulty and complaints about the rain, will use Gust on both Shroomish and Claire until the former is defeated or the latter is annoyed to death. Will use flying and height to her advantage. If somehow damaged critically or defeated, will switch back to Ralia to finish the job with Confusion if possible, or use Del and use Fury Attack. Moving on to Cottonee, if everything has gone as planned switch to Beedrill. Use a combination of poison sting and string shot to finish off the Cottonee. If critically inured or fainted, switch to Ritz and finish off with a combination of Comet Punch, Tackle, and Supersonic. Return quickly to the pokemon center once battle is done, if most of her pokemon are roughed up a bit. (Also pick up an umbrella) [hr] Moving onto the Cyclist - Start with Ralia since it's a Flying type. Start with Standard strategy. Double Team and Confusion. Teleport to dodge an attack or two if possible. If things go badly, switch to Beedrill and use string shot to immobilize, following it up with a well placed Poison Sting. Once Shinx is out, switch to Ritz. Use Supersonic and a combination of Comet Punch and Tackle to hopefully win. Use flight to his advantage and attempt to attack from blind spots. If it goes badly, switch back to Beedrill and use a combination of Harden, Poison Sting (Until/If they are poisoned) Then switch to Fury Attack. Alternate Harden with Attacking. (Harden - Attack - Harden - Attack) Once Venipede is used, switch back to Ralia. Double team followed by Confusion. Standard strategy. Use Teleport to dodge the more damaging rollout attacks if possible. Once done, hurry along to Rainrock if her pokemon aren't too terribly damaged.
